PhD Candidate Claire Mindus was featured in U of G News on her success at the recent Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Claire won top prize as well as the Community Choice award in the College-wide competition this past spring.

The Department of Animal Biosciences offers our deepest sympathies to the Indigenous Peoples and communities during this sad and difficult time. As we observe National Indegneous History Month, the horrific discovery of 751 unmarked graves of Indigenous children on the grounds of former residential schools, in addition to the remains of 215 children found in May, are tragic reminders of the truths of Canada's past.
